  @EXCELSlOR_ Sounds stupid, but Lucio from Overwatch or Doomfist, there was a rumors way back about OW coming to smash, but after like some Hong Kong issue it soured the water

  @arrkstan They were pivoting at every possible turn lol, overwatch comes out- "make it live service" Anthem comes out - "redo the game and make it single player, but water it down for a broad audience" Forspoken comes out - "this shits too lighthearted rewrite the whole game again" wut

  @enchandted Apparently they "lost" the files and data to this while converting to Overwatch 2, and the only way they can "fix" it is by completely remaking it. Don't know why, but I'm not buying that excuse of theirs.

  is anyone elses overwatch game on console crashing every time they get anubis?? me and my friend were trying to play today but we spent like half the time suspended because overwatchw would crash entirely

  @Rambo_Hair @GermanStrands that was hardly the issue, from what i saw the game itself ran fine. it was probably the most optimized hero shooter ive seen. very little problems. the biggest issue was character design, marketing and 8 years too late for hero shooters when Overwatch 2 fails to draw a crowd

  @bnpar26 @GagasLeftT0e It is a problem. DVA has been broken since the start of overwatch. She still is, she is after Freja the most banned tank in higher ranks

  @SamitoFPS @MarvelRivals Support is always a problem in every game Overwatch League Rivals Unite Always the most brain dead and broken role.

  @EmperorKermit @evolved117 most characters in Overwatch don't have sprint,just like most of them don't have any clamber-like abilities and it's irrelevant if it's part of the core or not,the real issue with it is that it has no actual purpose other than to copy what others are doing sprinting doesn't add

  @Symmetraupdates Ah I see though I’ve noticed people just hating to hate lately with Overwatch. Oh? Same issue too? :(

  does anyone else have this problem with overwatch where all the ui just disappears out of nowhere. it only ever happens to me in competitive games,, i hit no hotkeys or anything and shift+tab to pull up the steam thing doesn't fix it. am i just built to be an unranked warrior

  one of my favoomfs… you are very interactive, and you have very good taste in the things u like!!! i think we r fairly similar.. we share interests and it’s very cool……. sorry my tv broke whilst we were playing overwatch (it’s still broken fyi, i had to get a new one.)

  @dilucswifesband @pampurins No it's the OverWatch servers. had an entire lobby and this has happened four times where each of us on each team. Got kicked out one by one. I've posted about it OverWatch isn't addressing it nor are they fixing it. It is a server issue and a lot of ppl have been dealing W it

  @PlayOverwatch I have a slight input lag on the Switch 2 version of Overwatch 2. Is it only me?

  Sorin (@Sorin_FF) reported 31 minutes ago

  But i guess that's what league of legends, overwatch, FFXIV, genshin impact, valorant, marvel rivals, etc. is for. I think live service and indie games just fill in the holes now. But people are tired of live service.

  why does overwatch constantly have the “the server closed due to an unexpected error” bug. FIX YOUR GAME PLEASE

  Be careful playing comp on Overwatch as Rialto is bugged and will crash your game. Please fix or remove the map. It's just comp rules that crashes the game @PlayOverwatch

  @SkywardPlate @ThelVanDamne @HerosDr34m Req packs which affected one gamemode only in the halo community yall blame the devs for people this **** in but cod was doing it and Overwatch and none of the fans from those games blame the game for it. It was literally industry standard and regardless halo 5 was live service.

  @BbEunjiX @Greenpig117 @chu_ddino for overwatch. you answered your own question. you’re acting like battle net takes up a ton of space or is super inconvenient to launch 💀 i’m not uninstalling and reinstalling the game that works perfectly fine on the platform i’ve played it on for years when it’s a non-issue

  @Bloomzor @DumbsYT @Necrit94 I tried to argument it further on another answer. The problem is that I don't know why does he say that so I can't really fight it with arguments, from my perspective league is not on a bad spot and has been on way worse ones. Like overwatch or Fortnite release

  @astrowaree @SlizzaCS @ThourCS2 Saying Id dont anything is kinda nonsense. Premier has million times more cheaters. Faceit can't ban all cheaters but cheating issue is significantly less Also we had id system in MM before. The phone number. Valve removed it to help cheaters. Just like they removed overwatch

  Cyberpunk 2077's glitchfest launch aged better than Overwatch's desperate microtransactions—I'll take neon bugs & broken NPCs over Blizzard greed any day. Gaming's tragically poetic fall. #HotTake

  @dottanic I hate that skins seem like the only actual piece of content we can look forward to.. like the whole trailer was 30 seconds of stadium **** and the rest was showcasing skins.. I don't buy skins but I think overwatch created this problem themselves and likes when people are upset
